Sarah Steelman on Free Trade

Free trade is good policy for Americans

I unapologetically support the policies that will benefit all Americans, women and men, like limiting the size and scope of government, enforcing fiscal restraint, strengthening our military,
protecting the Second Amendment, advocating individual responsibility and advancing policies that promote free markets.

Advocate for making sure we keep Missouri jobs here

Q: Since there are so many jobs going overseas right now what policies are you going to try to bring those jobs back home?

A: Well, that's an economic development question. Small business is really the engine that drives the state economy and the
American economy. I think the state can come in and do some tax credits for venture capital that smaller businesses could access to get started. This is like a gap financing. If we can get businesses over the hump then I think we'll find that our economy
is growing more, we'll be creating more jobs here instead of shipping them abroad. A lot of the policies that dictate what's happening with that are at your federal level. But as governor I would certainly advocate for keeping Missouri jobs here any way
we can. We have [a foreign company] about to buy Anheuser-Busch; they might shut it down and take 'em to Europe. I hope they're not successful in their buyout, but as governor I have to advocate for constantly making sure we keep Missouri jobs here.
